Our day began downtown Minneapolis at 9 am, thinking that the stores would be open, but no. Things don't start until 10 am, so we went to the Crystal Court and had coffee and breakfast. We met a nice woman in town from Southern Minnesota and gave her 2 comp tickets to Titian at the MIA. She had no idea what to do in our fair city, so we had to show her at least one cool happening. Oh, we also sent her on to Macy's Flower Show which we were waiting for the doors to open.
We arrived promptly at 9 and so did every senior garden club tour. It was spectacular and so fragrant! Color, color, color!!! Made my fingers itch for the dirt in my backyard. The crowds were pushing, so we headed downstairs to look around. We perused and found nothing that needed a home, so we went to the Skyline Room to eat and had a wonderful salad bar. I saw my friend Rose from softball and she was fun to bump into off the field.
After lunch we headed to Titian at the MIA. It was beautiful out and getting more spring like all the time. The museum was busy with children, but quiet at Titian. I had seen it before on a Saturday, so this was much better. We rented audio units and I really loved the self guided tour. I love the stories hidden in the paintings. Lots of weird death and love gone awry.
We stopped at MCAD art store and got some paint and then headed home. It was a wonderful day with just my Mom and I and I loved every moment!

Sometimes life is hard and just has to show us what true courage is.....
From my friend's Caring Bridge site after recieving an outcome of six months left.....
We will try to do two things in all of this: 1) Live one day at a time and make these decisions as we can and need to; and 2) Savor every day. What we have is a whole lot of beautiful yesterdays and memories; we are so grateful for them. We also have some tomorrows to savor and enjoy! I am not dying today! I have plenty enough energy to embrace the goodness of every day that I am blessed with. And we have right now, this day: a time for tears and hugs, a time for hope and faith, a time for gratitude and, yes, even laughter. A time for love. That's what we have; that's what we all have, always.
Loving God, Spirit of God, Spirit of Jesus, Spirit of Love, I am afraid, of course. I didn't want to hear the message of yesterday. I feel not ready; we feel not "done." Give us wisdom as we make decisions. In all things give me, give us, hope and faith. And of course give us love -- the ability to receive it, from you and from others, and the ability to share it. Mostly, give us yourself. Breathe in us your life, your love.
Love to all,
Russ

FAERIE WARS PART TWO
Series is fun, compelling, addicting and the characters are personable. I really like these books. Formula driven writing? Sure, but the dialogue, plots, settings and characters have surprises and twists. Some mature themes in the plots, but suitable for most young adults.
